Pictures hang moments frozen
Heart full of tales unspoken

Every wrinkle a story to tell
In silent solace he knows them well
Whiskey breath and a half-written song
Wondering where it all went wrong
Lonely sittin' by the fire
Solo strummin' on heart's lyre
Life's song playin'
The dreams they're delayin'
Alone in his world desires growing tired

Mirror shows a storied face
Time's etchings he can't erase
But in the stillness finds his grace

Old love letters tucked away
Sometimes it's hard to face the day
Whispers of a life once bold
In the quiet his stories unfold
The road he walks stretching thin and long
Memories of her like an old love song

In the twilight of his prime
Hearts don't keep to perfect time
Yet in every aching note
A sweet melody is wrote
Candles dimming in the draft
Each flicker like a fleeting laugh
Melancholy seeping through
Once a duet now just the blue
Tunes of jazz they softly play
Companion through the night and day
